I found another photo where they are very close... some people says that George V and his wife Mary were "stiff and cold" persons, but I dont think so, or at least, not when they were out of the public's eyes.

‘The Duchess of Gloucester had another son a few days ago [August 26] - a Caesarian operation - and there is much discussion as to what name the child shall be given. The King favours Charles, which I think would be a good idea, but the Gloucesters apparently fancy Richard.’

Alan ‘Tommy’ Lascelles - diary entry, 31 August 1944

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at St. Nicholas’ Chapel, Bishopscourt, Isle of Man, July 1945

Here, in the quiet peaceful surroundings of this time-honoured spot, the proceedings were of a more intimate character; there were few onlookers as Their Majesties, joking and laughing, sat down to be photographed just outside the Chapel.

His Lordship placed the King in Bishop Wilson’s chair (dating back to the 17th century) and remarked ‘Your Royal Mother sat there.’

‘Yes,’ said the King, indicating that he would have preferred to stand. ‘But my Royal father stood up!’

I am very glad that you have gone into the matter of her religion so carefully, and that she has promised that the children shall be brought up as Protestants and that she herself may come over to the church later... I am sure the girl takes after her mother and not her father, as his behaviour here as ambassador in the early days of the war was anything but helpful.

George VI letter to Edward Cavendish, 10th Duke of Devonshire, 5 May 1944

This letter relates to the engagement of William Cavendish (Duke of Devonshire’s son) to Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy (daughter of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. - U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, 1938-40)
